Why do you think that throwing compute at the problem is absurd? Arguably that's the approach that produced the resurgence of interest in CNNs.

- smaddox 8y agoI'm not the original commenter, but I think it's fair to say that throwing compute at the problem is absurd from an academic point of view (where the goal is understanding), but not from a commercial point of view. Although there's still some academic value in throwing compute at a problem, just to see what's possible.
- chadmeister 8y agoYes I think the whole point of Zoph and Le's research is to empirically demonstrate the desired trade off of compute cycles vs feature engineering
